Engine oil RED LINE or Mannol

Red Line.

I like red line oils, because they have a bit more zddp which is nice for the rockers.

I am using this exact oil at the moment and have no complaints.

As an additional word of advice. Do not use Mannol 5w30 C3 oil when doing oil changes. Use a high quality oil- castrol,shells, millers.. these cars are very sensitive to oil

I've never had any issue with standard Mannol - my cars have always had it every 5k and I'm pleased with the results.

My Skoda gets fresh mannol every 12 months. No problems so far. It meets the VAG spec so all fine in my opinion.

VW recommends 505.01 for fixed service at 15k Km or 507.00 for flexible service at 30k Km. Since our driving condition is harsh, I usually cut those Km in half. Since you were pushing 505.01 at 12k I would recommend you use 507.00 5W30 LongLife for 15k to 18k to be on the safe zone especially if your runs are on highways. I’d highly recommend you check oil from Mannol 507.00, I’ve been using them and they are solid choice. It costs under 3.5k for 5L. You can fill 4.4L at change of oil and top up 200ml at 4,8 and 12k interval

On chilly winter mornings (SF Bay Area) the car did not like reverse or first gears. Subsequently switched to Red Line engine oil. More power, better mileage.

Ulje mannol 5w30 tdi. Isto ulje ja koristim za svoj audi. Tak da bitan je servisni interval pa mo\u017ee i srednje kvalitete ulje.

Motorban próbáltam, azzal olyan volt a váltó, mint amikor a Motul már cserés volt. Részemről inkább nem.
